The UKBA is introducing a Temporary Limit on the number of Tier 2 applications with a view to reducing the number of applications to 5% of the number from last year (overall including Tier 1 and Tier 2).

Tier 2 limit will be maintained by limiting the the number of Certificates of Sponsorship each UK sponsor can issue.

This limit will include all Certificates of Sponsorship under Tier 2 including certificates used in Tier 2 extension applications.

The limit will NOT include Tier 2 Intra-Company transfers, Ministers of Religion and Sportspeople.

The limit will NOT include applications by Tier 2 Dependents.

All UK sponsors should receive a letter from UKBA that will outline their Certificate of Sponsorship allocation for the period 19 July 2010 to 31 March 2011.

I will be posting further explanation on the specific details for UK sponsors as stated in the most updated Tier 2 Guidance shortly.

Welcome

Welcome!!

This blog is about UK Visas and Immigration. There are constantly changes in the legislation and rules and I will do my best to make sense of these and give the best possible advice in submitting a successful application.

I will try and give updates in an easily understandable way as to the changes in the Rules & Regulations in immigration matters to the UK. I will try and touch on all types of visa's to the United Kingdom from visitors visas, tourist visas, business visitors visas, work permits/tier 2, immigration visas/Tier 1, sole representative visa, marriage visa, engagement visa and more.

I will update and inform people interested in this field with weekly relevant and quality posts with advice on how to decipher the new rules and practical tips on when and how to successfully submit UK visas.

If you have questions on some of the changes just leave me a comment and I will try and explain things better.
